Minnesota Braces for Potential State-Federal Standoff Amid Immigration Raids

Ongoing federal immigration raids in Minnesota are creating a tense situation, potentially leading to a direct standoff between state and federal authorities. In response, Governor Tim Walz has prepared Minnesota’s National Guard.

Further amplifying the gravity of the situation, the Pentagon has also placed its troops on standby.

A 2024 simulation by the University of Pennsylvania indicated that similar state-federal standoffs could escalate into broader armed conflict.
